Este es un pequeño homenaje sonoro para el maestro Adrián Villanueva, Siku Mamani y otros colegas músicos que nos dejaron entre el año pasado y este año. Que este Jach'a Siku les llegue y acompañe durante su viaje.

Jikisiñkamay suma tatanaka, mä urux Wiñay Markan mayamp uñjasiñäniy, aruskipt'asipkakiñäni jan ukax phust'awayapxañäniwa.

Jikisiñkama Tata

The Andes and the Amazon are inextricably linked by the course of water, by their people and the exchange of products that prevailed until nowadays. "Danza de Jaguar" (Jaguar Dance) is a war cry and chamanic dance against all forms of extractivism.

Danza De Jaguar (Live @SikuQuenaFest2021)

When John Coltrane thought of "Equinox" and its cosmic relation, he also might have thought about the Andean region. For us Aymara People, equinoxes are indicators of the planting season's beginning (Sata Qallta). And since the music of Moseñada is played for this purpose, we thought of letting Coltrane dance to one of our rhythms.
